Lady Six Monkey (Mixtec: Ñuñuu Dzico-Coo-Yodzo; born before 1073 – died 1101) was a queen of the Mixtec city-state of Huachino ("Red and White Bundle" or "Bundle of Xipe") from approximately 1089 to 1101 in present-day Mexico. She controlled Huachino as its co-ruler alongside her husband, Lord Eleven Wind. Lady Six Monkey was also the heir to the throne of the city state of Jaltepec ("Belching Mountain"), through her descent from queen regnant Lady Nine Wind.
Lady Six Monkey's career is described in many contemporary documents, particularly the Codex Selden. She is best known for her conflict against Eight Deer Jaguar Claw, a struggle that John M. D. Pohl of the Fowler Museum has described as "an Iliad of the Mixtec people".[1]
